Durability
Since you spend a lot of time in brambles or aggressive vegetation, you need boots that you can rely on to keep up. And that's what you get, with a polyamide shell from Lenzi, integrated sewn-in stone guards lined at the front and, above all, the new SUPERTRACK laces, which are resistant to abrasion and bramble snags (except for the section that keeps the knot in place). And a 7-inch upper (17.8 cm).
Waterproof properties
Outings are much more pleasant when your feet stay dry throughout! But this is the #1 problem when shoes get taken off the beaten path. So our design team worked hard on this very issue. Here we've integrated a breathable, waterproof membrane underneath the upper, one that keeps water from getting in (rain, dew, etc.) while letting perspiration out. And we tested it in the lab, with 100,000 flexes submerged in water—equivalent to more than 40 km or 24 hours of walking—without water infiltration.
Waterproof gaiters and trousers
Even if it doesn't rain, vegetation can be drenched with water. So don't forget your gaiters or waterproof trousers! Otherwise water will soak through your trousers then your socks and you'll find yourself with 2 wet feet. Also don't forget to get yourself a good pair of socks for greater comfort, such as our ACTIVITY 500 socks, and to keep your toenails clipped, as they can damage the insides of your shoes and let water in.
Maintenance
It is very simple to take good care of these boots! Simply wash them in soap and water, without any grease or detergent. Spray with NIKWAX waterproofing spray to reactivate the water repellency of leather and textiles. To keep the upper flexible, do not leave them to dry next to a source of intense heat.
